Analysing the 2 0 advantage
QPR beat Liverpool from 2-0 down - an exception to the rule
Some might argue Liverpool’s capitulation at Queen’s Park Rangers last month was the perfect example of 2-0 being a dangerous lead. Cruising against a side battling relegation, Liverpool’s complacency turned into anxiety and then panic as QPR scored three in thirteen minutes to win the game.
Yet this was the first time Liverpool had dropped points from a 2-0 lead in nine and a half years, and their first defeat from such a position since November 2000. Two-nil hasn’t been a dangerous lead for the Reds at all in the Premier League; indeed it’s been quite the opposite.
